Re: issues in XFCE 4.6

You have to add Option "AllowEmptyInput" "Off" statement as last line in "ServerLayout" section. Doing console command Xorg -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf will build you one. By the way i used the package version of xfce4 on 7.1 and it's working just fine after i added the above xorg fixes. That line was already in xorg.conf (it was necessary to get a mouse to work after the last xorg update in January). However, I did not have it as the last line in the ServerLayout section. I moved it to the last line, but that didn't make a difference. There's still no XFCE menu, and without the ability to update the settings in XFCE, it's pretty much unusable... Keith As i said the packages worked for me. Blow away the xfce and xorg ports and do the xorg mega package and the xfce mega package. if that fails then bkup your user data and install a clean virgin version of 7.1 and the xorg and xfce packages. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Hi guys, I shall appreciate if you could spare a couple of minuts to look into and advise that which bits of Kernel, I should install from FreeBSD 7 (production release) Generic Kernel? And if I want to install IP filter / IP firewall / IPSec, etc on Kernel level, would it be wise or what? and if so, what sort of configuration I should use? what does "est: CPU supports Enhanced Speedstep, but is not recognized." mean?
